Staceybob Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 They do take out some of the force, but it will not eliminate pulling. Stacey xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowpups Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Yer I use one on my double shocker absober coupler as it helps with the little metal clip so I know it won't snap it works a treat hardly any pull on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boondog Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Yes i use it for my furbaby when down at the caravan. I got mine from P@H for £15 inc metal line. my opinion is it is Well worth it. As mentioned it doesnt eliminate pulling, but! it gives a certain amount of freedomand my baby loved it once she got used to it. It absorbs shock to an extent but hopefull after a few mintues they stop or lesson the demand for the shock anyway. ...but each time they get tethered they are bound to test the limitations. but it is only used by me for tethering when at the caravan. when at home - we give complete freedom. (NB: because thethered: doesnt mean you can take youir eyes off them for remainder of the day! I had to watch my baby cos instead of biting the line she tried to bite the harness..!! Be aware) Best Regards Boondog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charley Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Thanks guys think I will get it, I know it doesn't eliminate pulling (only proper training will) but hoping it may ease my arm up a little bit lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
